The MƒA Equity Webinars Series invites nationally recognized educators to share ideas that support equity within STEM. Following an interactive presentation by the speaker, Master Teachers have the opportunity to discuss how these ideas might be applied in their own school environments in small groups. Teachers from MƒA, other Master Teacher programs, and people interested in learning more about MƒA are invited to attend.
Many mathematics teachers want to integrate meaningful, culturally relevant tasks but don’t always know where to start. This work begins with understanding our students, uncovering their interests, and learning what they care about and value. In this talk, Dr. Pamela Seda will share principles from her ICUCARE Equity Framework to help teachers consider, implement, and adapt mathematics tasks to engage and empower all students, especially those from marginalized groups.
Dr. Pamela Seda is an educational consultant in Atlanta with over 30 years of educational experience. She is the owner of Seda Educational Consulting, creator of the VANG Math Card Game, and co-author of Choosing to See: A Framework for Equity in the Math Classroom. Dr. Seda was formerly a high school mathematics teacher, instructional coach, college instructor, and district mathematics supervisor. She currently serves on the board of NCSM Leadership in Mathematics Education and is the President-Elect of the Benjamin Banneker Association, an equity affiliate of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. As a regular speaker about equity in mathematics at conferences, Dr. Seda is committed to changing how students experience mathematics, especially those from marginalized groups, and advocates for mathematics instruction that develops all students as mathematical thinkers and problem-solvers.
